Definitely agree on kick and punt returner. That’s the best a program with Texas and its NIL war chest can do at those positions? We should have Peter Warwick 2.0 out there.

Durham is a beast. Hate we missed on him

Wingo looked pretty fast

I think missing out on Eric Singleton to auburn hurt. Johntay isn’t a burner and zachariah is more of a gimmick player. Jet sweeps, screens, special teams and so on. Not really a complete wide receiver who’ll make a difference.

I’ve been asking this question. I don’t think there are game changers on this offense. I will wait for it to play out but I don’t believe a trio of Wingo, Moore, and Livingstone is going to be good enough (add Mosley to that if he gets healthy). Always disagreed with the decision to go after guys who had more size and less speed this year. Get why we did it, but personally didn’t like it when there were so many explosive options in the portal. We’ll see how it goes.

I'm not convinced Ohio State has a faster offense than Texas, and if they do its a small advantage at best. I'd put Texas speed towards the top of the entire country. Wingo, Moore, Livingstone, Butler all most likely in 4.4 range. Arch has some tremendous wheels as does Nick Townsend. In my opinion its more frustrating that we didn't see the speed because of lack of execution. Against zone coverages a lot is sitting down and finding gaps. Wingo and Arch need to figure it out by Gainesville. Not sure of Wisners top end speed but he doesn't look slow to me and Baxter should get faster and faster. Pre injury he had some jets. I'd have loved Zechariah Branch but hopefully some of the freshman step up. It hurts to say it, but a head on straight Johntay Cook would be getting some big playing time this season.

Wasn’t just a concern from week 1. A lot of us had this concern all offseason and wanted another playmaker or two to be brought in via the portal. We got Mosley but who knows if he’ll ever play and he’s more a possession guy.

I don't think Texas speed is the problem, its getting guys the ball on time in stride so they can make a play after the catch to utilize it. Arch inaccuracy many times cost playmakers their ability to run in space. I cant recall one player getting a ball in stride to run after the catch in space. Wingo and Livingstone can fly and Endries showed good speed and burst on his sideline downfield grab. Deandre Moore has good wheels also. Its more the lack of utilization of speed in week 1 that was concerning. If they were dropping in cover 3 zones I wouldn't have been against a few more reverses for Wingo or screens. However, even the screen pass from Arch was a skipping rock unfortunately.

This game reminds me of the OSU Michigan game last year where Day tried to impose his will on Michigan and beat them at their own game. They lost that game but found themselves after and went on to win the natty. I hope whatever was off with Arch gets fixed and maybe Sark goes back to the drawing board and we find something that works.

I get what you’re saying, but who on 2023 Michigan’s offense had game breaking speed?

Because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Not sure if Dabo will ever be what he was from 2015-2020 again as the HC at Clemson. Mr. Sioux Falls did win the Pack 12 and played for a natty in a 4 team CFP though.

where is it on offense? We are slow compared to other top teams. I am much less worried about Arch than I am about not having many playmakers around him in a league that requires it to win a championship. - Our RBs are tough but nothing dangerous. - WR? Nobody to keep you up at night. Wingo is supposed to be fast but he’s more theoretical than real until he shows it. - Return game? I think we had our two slower RBs returning kicks and Niblett for punts who’s supposed to be fast but that needs to show on the field.

Why Is DeBoer included but not Dabo? I think DeBoer is a really good coach but he hasn’t won a championship and he hasn’t done enough yet to be considered elite.

While I agree some was vanilla and basic, its tough for a play caller to find a great rhythm if his QB is out of sync too. Some big opportunities missed by Arch on solid play calls from Sark where the entire first half they had no rhythm. Then some absolute dud calls in the red. Frustrating from both but hoping this is their worst game of the year. Flush it.

I watched the game thinking Sark was calling too vanilla of a gameplan. Watching the film guy’s review I’m realizing his schemes are just getting way too predictable and easily shut down by elite defensive coordinators. He has hit his wall for the second year years in a row. Good enough as a coordinator to beat most teams but not good enough as a coordinator to win the biggest matchups.

Spears put some violence on the ball, can't believe it's her second match on the road in an impressive Madison environment.

This is going to be a scary team later in the season and next couple of years. There’s only 3 seniors.Only senior starts and one that gets significant PT.

I was a little frustrated that on a critical third down Jeremiah Smith shoved Muhammad to get space and nothing was called. That no call and the penalty on Collin Simmons (hands to the face) that gave Ohio State a first down instead of a turnover on downs made a huge difference. Without them Ohio State may not have scored at all. The team is still young and that showed with some inconsistency. Arch, Collin Simmons, Anthony Hill, Ryan Wingo and Brandon Baker all had forgettable games. Lets hope they can keep their chins up and continue to improve.

You’ll never move beyond Assistant to the regional manager with that attitude.

Fewest yards allowed in a loss since 2011. Only the 2nd fewest in a L since 2004. Frustrating game.

I feel the same way about Flood overall, but he gets some flowers from me for yesterday’s performance. Pass pro was much better than I expected yesterday and the run blocking, particularly on the left side of the line is something to build off of. Didn’t like the penalties or the lack of push in short yardage goal line situations. But those two things might be something we have to live with since it’s been an issue for multiple seasons now.

At this point an injury of some sort would make more sense to me than complete implosion because of being rattled... Like many of us I'd say that I'd be completely fine with yesterday's performance if in a couple of months it just looks like a bump in the road. Can't get it out of my head and probably won't until Florida, but even this week I wanna see Arch get back to his old self, footwork and all. If this was just a "moment too big for him" kinda thing then whatever, learn from it, grow from it and move past it but can't sit here and say it wasn't concerning. Next few weeks the name of the game is making the automatics, processing defenses (as bad as they may be), and honing in the footwork and mechanics we know he has

In no way do I want this to sound like I’m discrediting the work y’all have put out regarding camp, practice and scrimmages. I was just wondering if the Arch Manning we saw yesterday with the decision making, bad footwork, and wild arm slots which at times can be okay showed up in those scrimmages or practices in the windows y’all were able to view? This isn’t a slight on Arch at all, but was just wondering if there was glimpes of this earlier on? @Gerry Hamilton@CJ Vogel@Bobby Burton@Jeff Howe?

Straight sets on the road🤘
